The Minnkota power drive V2 looks like a good choice, and as soon as I can sell the cable type foot control model on my boat - I am going to up grade to one. I have used the MG and MK motors and frankly, don't see much difference in performance or quality. It pretty much comes down to the features you want, and the price you get. The way my boat is set up, with the stick steering - there isn't enough room to comfortably use the cable type foot control and you wind up doing a lot of cussing from leg cramps in a long days fishing. I really need the power drive.
